The 33-year-old man is believed to have been on a family holiday at the Hotel Brisa Sol

Hotel Brisa Sol describes itself on its website as a “luxury four-star establishment with a wide selection of apartments and studios.”

No-one from the hotel was immediately available for comment.

Local police are believed to be investigating whether the injured tourist had been drinking before the incident happened.

A police source said: “The Irishman who was hurt was on holiday with his family and it appears to have been an accident.

“He didn’t reach the ground because he got stuck between the wall and an air conditioning unit on his way down.

“Nevertheless he had severe injuries and was assisted at the scene by medical emergency services."

Irish stag do reveller Daryl Dargan, from the Lakeglen area of Portlaoise, Co Laois, died last year in the same Algarve resort.

He was found dead in his apartment by friends after a night out in the resort last May.

Locals said afterwards the group of men he was with had been partying before his body was found.
